....Genesis 3:19: “For dust you are and to dust you shall return.”
Christians all over the world today are not supposed to eat any beef...none in any disguised form.
So far so good,i have not eaten any ...who has and who hasnt?....who forgot?
Ash Wednesday is marked 46 days before Easter Sunday |
Although Lent lasts for six weeks, Sundays are not included as they are considered a day for worship and rest.
Ash Wednesday is marked 46 days before Easter Sunday, which is on 5 April this year, to imitate the full 40 days Jesus spent fasting in a desert before being blessed by John the Baptist.
Those growing up days,we used to be told if you eat any beef,you have eaten the flesh of Jesus and any time longa throat made me fall,I would pray ''God abeg na meat i eat,not your flesh oh,abeg forgive me oh''.
Happy fasting to all those planning to join in the lent.
For the Catholics.

ReplyDeleteShiloh?
DeleteOladele Shirley you don see am na, they won't sit their asses at a place!
DeleteOoh it's Easter Season already. Stella I ate meat oo, steak n stockfish inside bitter leaf soup. E remain to wash it down wit palmwine.
ReplyDeleteDat one is far from me for now.
It's time for serious prayers once again. I need to hear some things from God, direct. Praying for Nigeria too.
Can't wait to mix my own local Barley's Irish Cream ....chilled Small Guiness Stout+blocked can of fresh yoghurt drink+Emene palmwine(obiri dike aka na ani). D creamy drink is outta dis world. I gulp by 9pm and wake d next day at 9am. Eligwe! Make Easter come sharp sharp. My throat dey itch me.
Ehen Stella biko I saw ur red ink about Smoothies on IHN. There are some coded steps to take while making smoothies to arrive at special tastes n flavor. Eg, if u want to blend coconut and red grapes, u don't just blend to drink, u roast d coconut on low heat till brown, not burnt o, so d sugar will come out well, then u leave d grapes(pls wash wit vinegar) under d sun to dry up a bit so d flavor will come out well. D mint leaf u add 3tiny leaves per full glass.
I got solid procedure for jollof rice, I aint giving u till u repent from 'chewing my comments AFTER DISAPPROVAL"

Hold up; I thought d no meat eating ish was for only good Friday. Didn't know if applied to ash Wednesday too! Me don chop meat dis evening o. Oh well...
ReplyDeleteWow! Lent is here again. Fasting is not all abt abstaining frm food n drink.. It entails pleasures of all kind. May d Lord help us to imbibe good virtues during d lent season n beyond. We shud all remember t put our dear country Nigeria in prayer, dese r trying times esp in d political terrain.
ReplyDeleteCatholics and Anglicans..
ReplyDeleteDidn't eat meat...Happy Fasting and prayer
Proudly catholic. Hope my fellow Catholics practiced some form of abstinence. May God bless us as we journey with him on these 40 days. "God of mercy and compassion, look with pity upon me...*singing*
ReplyDeleteI remembered the meat thing, but e pain me that I couldn't go for mass and collect my own ash. Mainly Catholics, Anglicans, Methodists and Presbyterians that observe it. Pentecostals no sabi reach that side.
ReplyDeleteStella, pls correct urself, Jesus fasted after being blessed by John not before & also, i'm a Christian & I'll eat meat so don't say Christians ain't suppose to eat meat, it's just for Catholics.
ReplyDeleteI don't even participate in lent. I've eaten meat today
ReplyDeleteHappy Ash Wednesday. Well i ate meat today
ReplyDeleteAte beans and plantain today...#catholicforever
ReplyDeleteI'm not catholic so I don't observe it. God help us all.
ReplyDeleteMost Orthodox churches observe the Lenten season but only the Catholic Church refrains from eating meat on Ash Wednesday Stellastica.So it's wrong to say all Christians all over the world.
ReplyDeleteAh! Ash Wednesday! Always reminds me of sec school when some of us will book for pieces of meat from our classmates who observed the day. Lol! Wish my christian brothers&sisters the most spiritually rewarding lenten period
ReplyDeleteSuddenly, no one is a Catholic anymore, okwia?
ReplyDeleteMe...proudly Catholic!!!

I got back from mass this evening feeling hungry. While dinner was getting ready, I opened the fridge and saw a piece of chicken wrapped in foil, then took 2 bites and kept it back.
I din't realise what I did until now. Still have ash on ma forehead.
Lord have mercy on me.
Lmao
DeleteI have a question about lent (make una no curse me O! the matter dey important). I've seen abstinence mentioned in several comments. Pls are we supposed to abstain from sex for lent in addition to the fasting?
